In fact, ANY changes i applied to ini file are causing startup crasing. Rolling back changes is not helping, it's still crashing. Only deleteting makes game starting up again.
I'm confused, i replayed all three original games countless times (Steam) and i've never experienced such a ridiculous bug...

Any ideas?

Even Steam version i own today started behaving exactly the same way. WTF???

Let me download the game and check, you trying to modify the FOV?

For works fine, I don't know what your problem could be. Try to add -r_base 90.

I'm pretty sure that the configuration file is named user.cfg and not user.ini.
Has the game ever asked you to be run in safe mode?
In any case I suggest you to read this post, because it might be helpful.

Anyway, as a general rule, remember to provide information about your system (OS, hardware, etc.) in order to get help.

Ini or cfg, my mistake. Nothing helps: same was years ago, so i's now.

Since both Redux were release i have this problem. Eventually i f...d em out from my Steam library, promissing never touch it again. Then when this giveaway was released i though maybe devs fixed it. Nope, still same crap. I give up, prefer originals, running without ANY problems like these
